Could it be "related" to the two cars,Brooklyn Heavy and London Heavy ? They were shipped to this side of the pond.

I do believe that 2 of Heavys Mopars went to England or in that area. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[COPO_Anders]

The whiskey King Bell´s son brought both cars to England, but Brooklyn Heavy was later shipped to Sweden.
I believe I found the picture in www.race68.com (http://www.race68.com)

[Salvatore]

Ok Thats one of them. You are a good man COPO! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Anybody else think the way that Camaro sits is awesome. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif Those rear rims and tires are really stuffed in there. Looks sinister! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif I wish that picture was color. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Salvatore]

I will have to read that article. It probably still has a 12 bolt in it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[MosportGreen66]

Granted there is a lot of room in the rear wells of a second gen Camaro, do you think he is running a Ford 9 inch/Dana 60 or even shortened GM housing in that the Camaro?

[Salvatore]

I bet a 12 bolt. I have to look the article up.

I am with you it has a killer look ..Just Like Ray Allen's 70 Chevelle Conv't did ....Before they killed it by putting it back to stock ...Hope no one restores the Red Alert car back to stock ....Or heavy's car if it still around ..Anyone know were his 66 Chevelle got to ?

[C1SS396]

Here's a couple photos of a second generation Brooklyn Heavy Camaro.
Not sure if it's the Dick Harrell car or not!

Fat chance...the old man can't stay outta the seat long enough...heck, since all the tracks are closed around here he still starts it every week or so just to hear the open headers! It'll be all quiet at the house, then all of a sudden you'll hear the rumble from across the yard, and my kids start yelling "it's Red Alert!" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

"do you think he is running a Ford 9 inch/Dana 60...in that the Camaro?"

C'mon, dude...how can you ask a silly question like that? Back then, mostly likely, this car had a Chevy 12-bolt rear in it! If not, then certainly a Dana 60--but most certainly not a 9-inch Ford rear.

[Kim_Howie]

That has been found it's mine. The rear end is a dana. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
